| 29 | Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? | C'est pourquoi, ayant été appelé, je suis venu sans aucune difficulté. Je vous demande donc pour quel sujet vous m'avez fait venir. | wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me. |
| 30 | And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, | Alors Corneille dit: Il y a quatre jours, à cette heure, que j'étais en jeûne et en prières dans ma maison à la neuvième heure, et tout d'un coup un homme, couvert d'un vêtement resplendissant, se présenta devant moi, | And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel, |
